When asked by Vanity Fair magazine (warning: article contains expletives) if he was ever going to open his Twitter account again, Baldwin replied: "Never. No. I went to Jimmy Gandolfini's funeral, and when I was there I realized Jimmy Gandolfini didn't have Twitter. Jimmy Gandolfini was so beloved as a person, and he was so admired as an actor, and he didn't give a [expletive] about social media."

"I really learned a lesson at the funeral," he added. "I said to myself, 'This is all a waste of time.' Meaning, it's fun sometimes, but less and less, and less. It's just another chink in your armor for people to come and kill you. I stopped and said to myself, I'm going to try where I just don't do this anymore."

"I'm having a baby. And everyone has seen how certain things have played out with my daughter, which as been very painful -- it's been really unpleasant," Baldwin told Vanity Fair. "That has consequences, and I do not want that to happen with my next child."
